E199 - Matt Willis: How addiction nearly destroyed my life

Matt Willis, the musician and singer known for co-founding Busted, joins the podcast to speak about the true impact of addiction. We discuss why addiction is such a taboo subject, how to approach difficult conversations with your loved ones and the journey to recovery. Matt shares the struggles he faced in his youth and how they spiraled into addiction. After Busted split up when he was only 21, he felt his life lacked direction and purpose. He discusses how he found his purpose again and how crucial his family are.


In this episode, Matt shares his thoughts on shame, fault vs. responsibility, challenging yourself and much more. This is an emotional and moving conversation about hope and empathy.
